At first glance, plant and animal cells have a lot in common: they’re both highly organized, keep their DNA tucked away in an envelope, and are kinda juicy inside. But plant cells have evolved some ...

In a groundbreaking study on the synthesis of cellulose -- a major constituent of all plant cell walls -- a team has captured images of the microscopic process of cell-wall building continuously over ...

A group of researchers in Japan have made quite the breakthrough. According to a new study published in the Proceedings of the Japan Academy, Series B, these scientists have created solar-powered ...

Every time a stem cell divides, one daughter cell remains a stem cell while the other takes off on its own developmental journey. But both daughter cells require specific and different cellular ...

Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent six days a week. Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. Researchers say they have successfully cultivated animal cells ...

Even without nerves, plants can sense when something touches them and when it lets go, a study has found. In a set of experiments, individual plant cells responded to the touch of a very fine glass ...

Scientists have discovered a new contender in the quest to hack the human aging process, and it’s a little-studied protein within a cell structure that also doesn’t get a lot of airtime in research ...

Plant cell walls, composed primarily of cellulose, hemicellulose and pectins, serve as dynamic structures that not only provide mechanical strength and protection but also regulate growth, ...

(a) Examples of medicinal plants and their meristematic tissues as sources for stem cell generation. (b) Advantages of using medicinal plant stem cells in research and industrial applications. (c) In ...

A research team at the Max Planck Institute for Chemical Ecology has successfully combined single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) and single-cell mass spectrometry (scMS) analysis on the same plant ...

Plant cells are amazing! In this episode, we'll cover wild features inside plant cells! At first glance, plant and animal cells have a lot in common: they’re both highly organized, keep their DNA ...
